He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening, but more than anything he loved doing things for others. He spent his last week, doing what he loved, volunteering at SAMs and his Church, tending to his garden and yard, having lunch with friends, playing golf, talking with his sisters, helping his daughter do yard work, planning a home office with his grand-daughter, seeing his great grandchildren, and having breakfast with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law.
